For the past several years, we’ve moved toward a more secure web by strongly advocating that sites adopt HTTPS encryption. And within the last year, we’ve also helped users understand that HTTP sites are not secure by gradually marking a larger subset of HTTP pages as “not secure”. Beginning in July 2018 with the release of Chrome 68, Chrome will mark all HTTP sites as “not secure”.

Looks like Cloudflare has a feature called "Automatic HTTPS Rewrites" that avoids mixed content and presumably also rewrites internal URLs from HTTP to HTTPS. Not a bad offering, but again you'd come to depend on them and their connection with your server remains insecure.
